Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL SPECIFIC 0720 5W30 is a fully synthetic engine oil engineered specifically for modern Renault diesel engines equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF). This oil meets the RENAULT RN0720 approval standard and is compatible with Renault, Dacia, and Samsung diesel vehicles.

The 5W30 viscosity means the oil flows easily during cold winter starts (the '5W' rating) while maintaining protective thickness when your engine reaches normal operating temperature around 100°C (the '30' rating). This balance helps your engine start smoothly in winter and stay protected during regular driving.

• 100% Synthetic Formula: Provides superior protection and allows extended oil change intervals compared to conventional oils
• Low SAPS Technology: Reduced ash, sulphur, and phosphorous content protects your DPF system from clogging and extends its lifespan
• Advanced Detergents: Keeps your engine clean by preventing sludge and deposit buildup
• Fuel Efficiency: Low viscosity reduces internal engine friction, helping improve fuel economy
• Thermal Stability: Resists breakdown at high temperatures and reduces evaporation loss

When to Use / Replace?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals, typically 15,000 to 20,000 km or every 12 months, whichever comes first. Always consult your owner's manual for your specific vehicle's requirements. This oil is designed for diesel engines operating in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +40°C ambient conditions. Do not mix this oil with non-RN0720 approved products.

Important: This oil is specifically formulated for Renault diesel engines with DPF systems. Using the correct specification protects your after-treatment system and maintains warranty compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in petrol engines?
A: No. MOTUL SPECIFIC 0720 is formulated exclusively for Renault diesel engines with DPF systems. Using it in petrol engines may cause compatibility issues. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct oil specification.

Q: How long does this oil last before it needs changing?
A: Synthetic oils like this typically last longer than conventional oils. Most Renault diesel owners change oil every 15,000–20,000 km or annually, but your specific vehicle may have different intervals. Check your owner's manual or service schedule for exact guidance.

Q: Why is Low SAPS technology important for my diesel engine?
A: Low SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorous, Sulphur) technology prevents harmful deposits from accumulating in your DPF system. This keeps your particulate filter clean, maintains engine efficiency, and extends the life of expensive after-treatment components.
